I'm really hopeful that I'm going to have literally any time to write this week, lol. As someone who doesn't like. 'officially' celebrate Christmas for the most part, my own house was pretty low pressure, but now that it's the week leading up to new year's, I have to actually start thinking about new year's prep. I decided I'd only make a few Osechi dishes, and soba again on the 31st, but that means at some point this week I need to find the wherewithal to go to the asian market and see if I can find ingredients. I'm also probably going to do extra cooking ahead, especially on the 31st since (thank god) that's a Saturday. The rest of the week, I'm going to be cleaning up a lot,  and trying to stick to my goddamn exercise routine and still cook regular meals. So it's uhhh. Going to be a lot. But goddammit, I still want to finish a few things before the year is out.

I managed to do a whole bunch of new year's cards though. I'm probably missing people, but I have a pile, and I'm going to have to send out the pile by mail probably on Thursday. I'm giving some to my coworkers, but I really hope it's not going to be a whole Thing that I'm giving them to some and not others. Personally, I don't want to have to explain that it's a Japanese cultural tradition and why I'm celebrating said tradition to people who I know support the republican party, so.

...oh shit, I just realized I didn't get dragged to church this year. It's a miracle!
